Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

This report presents detailed industry-derived statistics on the State's output and sales values of earth resource commodities realised during the six month period ended 30 June 2006, and compares the data with that returned for the previous six...

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a proposed radiotelescope receiver network that, when constructed, will have an effective collection area of one square kilometre, making it up to 100 times more sensitive than any present-day instrument on Earth....

A version of the Russian-invented CHIM electro-geochemical prospecting technique, which has lately been developed at Guilin University, China, was trialled in field surveys conducted at the Challenger gold mine, and at the Kalkaroo Cu-Au-Mo and Goulds...

This report book contains zircon - derived U-Pb geochronological data, which was obtained between January 2005 and April 2006, for basement rock samples taken from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The data has been generated as part of the...

Palynological analyses of two trench regolith samples obtained from the Pine Creek and Chapel Hill diamond exploration licence areas in South Australia show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. Both samples are dated Late Miocene into Early...

The Boomerang gold prospect is located 650 km north-west of Adelaide in undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks incorporated within Archaean Harris Greenstone Belt mafic lithologies of the Gawler Craton. The prospect was originally discovered using...

Identification of a fibrous mineral, two samples of which were retrieved from a small open pit at abandoned mine workings located 2.5 km west of Rowland Flat in the Barossa Valley, on the bank of the North Para River, was made using X-ray diffraction...

This report presents the results of a Terranechron [registered brand name for this proprietary technique] study of detrital zircons from modern stream sediments of the Gawler Craton. The Terranechron approach involves obtaining uranium - lead decay...

Returns from copper and gold won from the Moonta-Wallaroo district supported the South Australian economy from 1860-1920. During those 60 years some 355,000 t of copper and 2 t of gold were extracted from the twin mining fields of Wallaroo and Moonta:...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and materials for the six-month period ended 30 June 2003. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for the...

Palynological analyses of samples from the Fossil Hill area [of Flinders Diamonds' Calabrinda diamond exploration prospect], in the northern Willochra Basin, have indicated the presence of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene sediments correlated with the...

Palynological analyses of seven cuttings samples taken from the Kingoonya Palaeochannel area drillholes KINPC 1 and KINPC 2 indicate the presence of Late Miocene - Early Pliocene fluvial sediments, whose age is confirmed by recognition of palynomorphs...

The results of a 1982 State-wide hydrogeochemical survey showed the Musgrave Block to be anomalous and potentially mineralised. In 1997 a groundwater quality survey was undertaken for the remote communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands. Water...

Palynological analyses of samples from Meadows Bore 1 indicate the presence of Late Miocene to Early Pliocene sediments, correlated with the Monotocidites galeatus Zone. At the base of the Tertiary interval examined it appears that a wet rainforest...
